Mint Limeade
RECIPE BY: Engrossed
This is from Cooking Light magazine. The fresh, cool flavor of mint is a welcome addition to this warm-weather drink. Try serving it as a refreshing cooler with spicy Asian food. **I just made this for a potluck recently and everyone raved about it. I thought the sweetness was just right but I like sweet. Since a couple of reviewers thought it was too sweet...if you don't like sweet... start with less sugar and add more at the end.**

This was wonderful engrossed. I used fresh mint and lots of lime. The amount of sugar was perfect for me. This is a lovely tasting, refreshing limeade. I can't wait to try it this summer with chocolate mint from my garden. Thanks so much for sharing a new favourite drink, which I will make often...Kudos

This was very refreshing and cool with a nice combination of lime and mint. I found the sugar to be appropriate to my tastes as well. This would be a great way to make mojitos in advance, just add rum and ice!

Very tasty! I used Splenda, lemon mint and spearmint, and I think I would use more mint and less Splenda next time. Much lighter tasting than commercial limeade. Thanks for a new summertime drink!

Reviewed for the ZWT3. This was a seriously refreshing drink and simple to make. This limeade was a total HIT in our house and will certainly be made again over the summer and beyond I'm sure
